Mitra Designs Studio Collaborative

We are a full-service Vermont-based design firm. We offer a collaborative design studio that effectively and creatively pulls everything together starting from building concepts to interior design. There have always been two large problems in the design field. The gap between architecture and interior design, and the gap between design phase and construction. Often there is a lack of communication between these important multi-faceted phases, and because of this, information can get lost, designs watered down, and details missed. We provide full-service building designs and interior design services to bridge that gap. We collaboratively work with a large network of other expert building professionals as well as structural engineers and builders so we can assemble the best team that can meet the specific needs of your projects. This keeps our overhead low so we can provide the best design for your project while keeping our design fees reasonable. Our decades of hands-on experience both in the field of architecture and construction has allowed us to gain a deep understanding of the needs of both fields. We have developed a successful practice and process that allows the project team to foresee and carefully consider project needs early in the design and planning phase. We pay special attention to all critical building technology elements as well as creative elements of good architectural design such as scale, form, function, and proportion, as well as the psychological effects of natural and artificial lighting, color, and building materials and textures. We are also very sensitive to the environmental impact of each project. Our design packages are highly comprehensive and detailed and we continually receive praise for it from both our clients and building professionals. Our attention to detail results in a fully comprehensive design package that is ready for pricing early on and during each phase of the design so together with our client we can stay within budget. By choice, we have kept our firm a small design studio, allowing our role with clients to be that of a designer/partner. We only take a small number of projects at a time so we can give our undivided attention to each project on the board. This allows us to interact with our clients on a personal level, understand their specific needs and wishes, and create a functional and rejuvenating living space for our clients.
